The problem is that the header (holds the logo) and the sidebar don´t share the same container and the content div is between them in the source. So, making header + sidebar being sticky together, staying in position, could get pretty tricky (imho - never tried actually) using just CSS.
And no, that´s not documented.

But if it´s just about the sidebar: There are plugins to make any element sticky when it reaches the top (could be achieved with just JS if you´re familiar with it). Don´t know if and how they account for mobiles though.
If you own the StudioPress package, you could also look at their "Sixteen Nine" childtheme as menu is fixed (but sidebar scrolls and is on the right side).

Hi,
Thanks SiGa. I checked out the Sixteen Nine childtheme. It is quite nice. It is actually done by using a vertical header. So the menu is in the vertical header included as a header widget.

Really a nice solution for vertical menu's. So I looked into getting Dynamik Website builder to work with a vertical header. I couldn't find any information about that. If anyone knows how to do that with Dynamik I would be very interested. Maybe a suggestion for new Dynamik functionality?

In the mean time I looked into other options. To get a vertical sticky menu I also looked into several menu plugins but find them very 'heavy'.

So I turned my eyes on Q2W3 Fixed widget. It looks compact and the developer seems responsive to support questions. The resulting Sticky Sidebar Menu widget is working and is kind of responsive as Dynamik 'automatically' goes to responsive menu's and the sidebar is shown below the content.

One problem though. I found that sublevel menu items are allways open if I use a custom menu widget in my sidebar.
